Abstract
The generation of the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P(3)) and its associated release of Ca(2+) from internal stores is a highly conserved module in intracellular signaling from Drosophila to mammals. Many cell types, often nonexcitable cells, depend on this pathway to couple external signals to intracellular Ca(2+) release. However, despite the presence of the requisite Ins(1,4,5)P(3) signaling machinery, excitable cells such as cardiac myocytes employ a robust alternate system of intracellular Ca(2+) release, namely, a coupled system of Ca(2+) influx, followed by Ca(2+) release via the IP(3)R-related ryanodine receptors. In these systems, Ins(1,4,5)P(3) signaling pathways appear to be largely dormant. In this review, we consider the general features of inositol phosphate (InsP) responses in cardiac myocytes and the molecules mediating these responses. The spatial localization of Ins(1,4,5)P(3) generation and Ins(1,4,5)P(3) receptor (IP(3)Rs) is likely of key importance, and we examine the state of knowledge in atrial, ventricular, and Purkinje myocytes. Several studies have implicated Ins(1,4,5)P(3) generation in both arrhythmogenic and hypertrophic responses, and possible mechanisms involving Ins(1,4,5)P(3) are discussed. While Ins(1,4,5)P(3) is unlikely to be a key player in cardiac excitation-contraction (EC) coupling, its potential role in an alternate Ca(2+) release system to signal changes in gene transcription warrants further investigation. Such studies will help to determine whether cardiac Ins(1,4,5)P(3) generation represents a vestigial pathway or plays an active role in cardiac signaling.

Abstract
The binding of bombesin to its cognate G-protein coupled receptor stimulates quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells to re-initiate DNA synthesis and cell division. Addition of a non-mitogenic concentration of insulin dramatically potentiates bombesin-induced cell proliferation. We examined whether bombesin-induced EGFR transactivation mediates synergistic cell proliferation induced by bombesin and insulin. Treatment with selective EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors blocked EGFR transactivation, DNA synthesis, the transition of cells from quiescence into the cell cycle, and the expression of cyclins D1 and E induced by bombesin alone. In contrast, the inhibitors prevented cell cycle progression to a much lesser degree in cells stimulated with the combination of bombesin and insulin. Our results indicate that EGFR transactivation does not mediate synergistic cell proliferation induced by bombesin and insulin, and imply that insulin compensates for the requirement for EGFR transactivation in bombesin-induced DNA synthesis.

Abstract
The mouse intestinal neuroendocrine tumor cell line STC-1 secretes cholecystokinin (CCK) and other hormones. We investigated the role of Ca2+, calmodulin (CaM), and protein kinase C (PKC) in the regulation of CCK release from STC-1 cells. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA) significantly stimulated CCK release. Staurosporine significantly inhibited CCK release from STC-1 cells stimulated by TPA in a dose-dependent manner. The absence of extracellular calcium completely inhibited CCK release from TPA-stimulated STC-1 cells. Neurotensin did not stimulate CCK release from these cells. W-7, a CaM antagonist, reduced CCK release from STC-1 cells stimulated by bombesin in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that CaM and PKC play an important role in the regulation of CCK release from STC-1 cells stimulated by bombesin.

Abstract
Functional angiotensin receptors were characterized in the rat pancreatic acinar cell line AR4-2J. Angiotensin II stimulated a dose-dependent release of amylase and production of inositol phosphates. Results of high-performance liquid chromatography separation of inositol phosphates indicated that angiotensin stimulated the rapid accumulation of inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate. Angiotensin II and angiotensin III were at least an order of magnitude more potent than angiotensin I in the stimulation of amylase release. The angiotensin II-stimulated amylase release was blocked by losartan, a selective AT1 angiotensin antagonist. The selective AT2 angiotensin receptor ligands CGP42112 did not alter angiotensin II-stimulated amylase released. However, CGP42112 stimulated amylase release at micromolar concentrations with a potency similar to angiotensin I. Analysis of mRNA expression by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction suggested that AT1A was the predominant type-I angiotensin receptor expressed in the AR4-2J cells.

Abstract
Myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) is a major integral membrane protein of central nervous system myelin and is considered to play a significant role in myelination. PLP has a four-transmembrane structure, judging from the hydropathy profile. In addition, it has InsP6 binding activity. Here, we have succeeded in producing PLP in large quantities of 3.9 pg/cell (6 mg/L) by using a baculovirus expression system and developing an efficient purification method, maintaining InsP6 binding activity. The recombinant PLP (rPLP) was purified by ion-exchange and immunoaffinity chromatography in a nonorganic solvent. The final yield of purified rPLP was 36%. The Kd and Bmax values for the InsP6-PLP binding were 55 nM and 33 pmol/microgram protein, respectively. The Kd value of purified rPLP is equal to that of mouse brain PLP. These results indicate that purified rPLP keeps its native conformation and binds InsP6 in an almost one-to-one ratio.

Abstract
Protein kinase D (PKD) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that is activated by phorbol esters via protein kinase C in intact cells. To assess the physiological significance of this putative pathway, we examined the regulation of PKD in living cells by mitogenic regulatory peptides and by platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF). Our results demonstrate that bombesin rapidly induces PKD activation in Swiss 3T3 cells, as shown by autophosphorylation and syntide-2 phosphorylation assays. Maximum PKD activation (14-fold above base-line levels) was obtained 90 s after bombesin stimulation. Bombesin also induced PKD activation in Rat-1 cells stably transfected with the bombesin/gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) receptor and in COS-7 cells transiently co-transfected with PKD and bombesin/GRP receptor expression constructs. No inducible kinase activity was demonstrated when COS-7 cells were transfected with a kinase-deficient PKD mutant. Bombesin-mediated PKD activation was prevented by treatment of Swiss 3T3 cells with the protein kinase C inhibitors GF 1092030X and Ro 31-8220. In contrast, these compounds did not inhibit PKD activity when added directly in vitro. Vasopressin, endothelin, and bradykinin also activated PKD in Swiss 3T3 cells through a PKC-dependent pathway. Platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated PKD activation in Swiss 3T3 cells and in porcine aortic endothelial cells stably transfected with PDGF-beta receptors. Treatment with GF 1092030X or Ro 31-8220 inhibited PKD activation induced by PDGF. Thus, our results indicate that PKD is activated by multiple signaling peptides through a protein kinase C-dependent signal transduction pathway in a variety of cell types.

Abstract
Functional bombesin receptors were identified in most human glioblastoma cell lines examined (approximately 85% of lines). Bombesin stimulated the release of intracellular Ca2+ in human adult (U-373MG, D-247MG, U-118MG, U-251MG, D-245MG, U-105MG, D-54MG, A-172MG, and D-270MG lines) and pediatric (SJ-S6 and SJ-G2 lines) glioblastoma cell lines. Stimulation of the glioblastoma cell line U-373MG with bombesin or gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) induced mitogenesis, measured by [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA, and stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases (Erk1 and Erk2). The stimulation of the MAP kinase phosphorylation in U-373MG cells was time- and peptide concentration-dependent. Both bombesin and GRP showed similar potencies in stimulation of intracellular Ca2+ release and activation of the MAP kinase pathway in U-373MG cells, whereas neuromedin B (NMB) peptide was less potent. Bombesin and GRP induced the release of cytosolic Ca2+ in a concentration-dependent manner. Because bombesin and GRP were more potent than NMB peptide in increasing the cytosolic Ca2+ levels in U-373MG cells, we concluded that the BB2 subtype (also known as GRP-preferring receptor subtype) of the bombesin receptor is expressed in this cell line. The bombesin receptor antagonist ([Leu13-psi(CH2NH)Leu14]bombesin) blocked bombesin induced Ca2+ release and attenuated MAP kinase activation in U-373MG cells demonstrating that bombesin is acting through a receptor-dependent mechanism. This study indicates that functional bombesin receptors are widely expressed in human glioblastoma cell lines.

Abstract
The novel substance P (SP) analogue, [D-Arg1,D-Trp5,7,9,Leu11]SP like [D-Arg1,D-Phe5,D-Trp7,9,Leu11]SP inhibited DNA synthesis induced by bombesin, vasopressin, and bradykinin, but did not interfere with the mitogenic response induced by other growth factors or pharmacological agents in Swiss 3T3 cells. [D-Arg1,D-Trp5, 7,9,Leu11]SP reversibly inhibited bombesin-induced DNA synthesis, causing a 6-fold greater rightward shift in the bombesin dose response than [D-Arg1,D-Phe5,D-Trp7,9,Leu11]SP at identical concentrations (10 microM). We found that the new, more potent, SP analogue coordinately and reversibly inhibited bombesin-induced Ca2+ mobilization and protein kinase C (PKC) and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation. The dose-response curves for bombesin-induced Ca2+ mobilization and MAP kinase activation were similarly displaced (51- and 40-fold, respectively) by [D-Arg1, D-Trp5,7,9,Leu11]SP. In addition, [D-Arg1,D-Trp5,7,9,Leu11]SP reversibly inhibited bombesin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Mr 110,000-130,000 and 70,000-80,000 bands as well as p125 focal adhesion kinase. [D-Arg1,D-Trp5,7,9,Leu11]SP also reversibly and coordinately inhibited vasopressin-induced Ca2+ mobilization, PKC stimulation, MAP kinase activation, tyrosine phosphorylation, and DNA synthesis in Swiss 3T3 cells. Surprisingly, deletion of the terminal Leu of [D-Arg1,D-Phe5,D-Trp7,9,Leu11]SP to yield [D-Arg1, D-Phe5,D-Trp7,9]SP1-10 resulted in a selective loss of inhibitory activity of this analogue against bombesin- but not vasopressin-stimulated DNA synthesis, Ca2+ mobilization, and MAP kinase activation. Collectively, these results suggest that SP analogues act at the receptor level to coordinately and reversibly antagonize bombesin- or vasopressin-induced signal transduction in Swiss 3T3 cells.

Abstract
Mitogenic stimulation of Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts with bombesin results in receptor-mediated activation of a complex array of effectors, including phospholipase C beta and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. Incubation of Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts with the 11-amino acid [D-Arg1,D-Phe5,D-Trp7,9,Leu11]substance P peptide inhibited bombesin-stimulated cell proliferation and phospholipase C beta activation even at high bombesin concentrations. The peptide did not inhibit the activation of phospholipase C beta by a GTPase-deficient form of the Gq-like protein, G16, indicating that the peptide does not inhibit phospholipase C beta and is acting at a point upstream of the activated form of the G protein alpha subunit. The peptide inhibited MAP kinase activation at low bombesin concentrations, but unlike phospholipase C beta, this inhibition could be overcome with 30 nM bombesin. In control Swiss 3T3 cells, bombesin did not measurably activate Ras or Raf-1 above basal levels. Following incubation of the cells with the [D-Arg1,D-Phe5,D-Trp7,9,Leu11]substance P peptide, 50 nM bombesin activated Raf-1 4-6-fold over basal levels. Platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated activities of PLC, Ras, Raf-1, and MAP kinase were unaltered after incubation of Swiss 3T3 cells with the [D-Arg1,D-Phe5,D-Trp7,9,Leu11]substance P peptide, as was platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated growth of the Swiss 3T3 cells. Thus, the peptide behaves as an antagonist that differentially inhibited phospholipase C beta and MAP kinase signal transduction pathways. The growth arrest observed with the peptide indicates that the bombesin-stimulated activation of MAP kinase is not sufficient to support mitogenesis in Swiss 3T3 cells.

Abstract
Several guanine nucleotide-binding protein-coupled receptors are known to be rapidly phosphorylated after agonist exposure. In this study we show that the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRP-R) is rapidly phosphorylated in response to agonist exposure. When [32P]orthophosphate-labeled cells were exposed to bombesin, the receptor was maximally phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues within 1 min. Although addition of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate also resulted in phosphorylation of the GRP-R, elimination of protein kinase C activity using the inhibitor 7-hydroxystaurosporine did not prevent bombesin-induced GRP-R phosphorylation. We conclude that a kinase other than protein kinase C is principally responsible for the rapid, agonist-induced phosphorylation of the GRP-R.

Abstract
The substance P (SP) analogues [DArg1, DPhe5, DTrp7,9, Leu11] SP (AntD) and [Arg6, DTrp7,9, MePhe8] SP (6-11) (AntG) inhibit the action of many different neuropeptides including SP. These analogues might be useful in the treatment of small cell lung cancer but their mechanism of action is unclear. Here, we analyzed the effect of AntD and AntG on neuropeptide vs. guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio) triphosphate (GTP gamma S)-stimulated inositol phosphate generation in permeabilized Swiss 3T3 cells. AntD inhibited vasopressin and bombesin stimulated inositol phosphate formation (IC50 of 0.75 microM and 2 microM, respectively). Similarly, AntG inhibited vasopressin-stimulated inositol phosphate generation with an IC50 of 1 microM. Strikingly, neither AntD up to 10 microM nor AntG up to 20 microM was able to inhibit GTP gamma S-stimulated inositol phosphate generation. Dose-response curves of neuropeptide-induced inositol phosphate generation were dramatically displaced to the right by either 10 microM AntD or 20 microM AntG. However, neither antagonist affected the dose response of GTP gamma S-stimulated inositol phosphate generation. Furthermore, 20 microM AntD had no effect on AIF-4-induced inositol phosphates in COS-1 cells transfected with G alpha q. AntD inhibited [3H]vasopressin binding competitively in intact Swiss 3T3 cells and both AntD and AntG inhibited [3H]vasopressin binding in Swiss 3T3 and rat liver membranes. Scatchard analysis revealed that AntD inhibited vasopressin binding by reducing receptor affinity without affecting receptor number in both intact and membrane preparations of Swiss 3T3 cells. The results strongly suggest that SP analogues AntD and AntG block the action of the Ca2+ mobilizing neuropeptides at the receptor level, rather than inhibiting G protein-stimulated inositol phosphate production.

Abstract
We analyzed the effect of growth factors on the localization of the 80-kDa acidic myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (80-kDa MARCKS), the major protein kinase C (PKC) substrate, in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. Virtually all 80-kDa MARCKS of quiescent cultures of these cells was membrane bound. However, within 40 min after addition of bombesin (10 nM) to these cells, the content of 80-kDa MARCKS in the cytoplasmic fraction increased 25-fold. Phosphorylated 80-kDa MARCKS was detectable in the cytoplasmic fraction as early as 30 s after addition of bombesin and the translocation was sustained for 6 h i.e. until 80-kDa MARCKS became down-regulated. The ability of bombesin to stimulate translocation of 80-kDa MARCKS was dose-dependent (concentration required to produce 50% of the effect was 0.6 nM bombesin) and was abolished by the specific antagonist [Leu14,13 psi 14CH2NH]bombesin. Furthermore, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulated a dose-dependent (concentration required to produce 50% of the effect was 3 ng/ml) translocation which was comparable to that induced by bombesin in terms of kinetics and magnitude. Translocation was independent of continuous protein synthesis, but dependent on active PKC. Depletion or inhibition of PKC activity abolished the 80-kDa MARCKS translocation induced by either bombesin or PDGF. Furthermore, the neuropeptides beta-endothelin, bradykinin, and vasopressin, which are known to stimulate PKC activity, also promoted translocation. In contrast, epidermal growth factor, insulin and forskolin, which do not activate PKC, failed to cause such an effect. Translocation of 80-kDa MARCKS was also observed in Rat1 cells treated with phorbol ester, PDGF and beta-endothelin. We conclude that the translocation of 80-kDa MARCKS from the membrane to the cytosol is an early response to a variety of growth-promoting factors that stimulate PKC through different signal-transduction pathways.

Abstract
Proliferation of the rat intestinal epithelial cell-line, RIE-1, has previously been shown to be stimulated by certain polypeptide growth factors acting via receptors that possess intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. In this study, we show that the octapeptide hormone angiotensin II (AII), apparently acting through the AT1 G-protein-coupled receptor, is also a mitogen for RIE-1 cells. Maximal stimulation of DNA synthesis and cellular proliferation occurred at an AII concentration of 10-100 nM, with half-maximal stimulation at 1 nM. The mitogenic response to AII was completely inhibited by the AT1 angiotensin-receptor antagonist, DuP753, but not by the AT2-receptor antagonist, PD123319. The early signalling responses activated by AII in RIE-1 cells include increased production of inositol phosphates, a transient increase in the intracellular concentration of free calcium, an activation of protein kinase C, and a rapid change in the pattern of cellular protein-tyrosine phosphorylation. These results implicate an activation of the inositol lipid signalling pathway via the AT1 receptor subtype in the AII-stimulated mitogenic response of this normal epithelial cell line.

Abstract
The possible interaction of bombesin receptors with guanine nucleotide binding protein in guinea pig lung was studied. The non-hydrolysable GTP analogue guanosine-5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP gamma S) was shown to decrease [125I-Tyr4]bombesin binding in a concentration-dependent manner. The specificity of this effect was assessed by examining the effects of other guanine nucleotides on this binding at a concentration of 1 mM. GMP and GDP weakly inhibited [125I-Tyr4]bombesin binding (2 and 19%, respectively), whereas GTP, guanosine-5'-[beta-thio]triphosphate (GDP beta S), and 5-guanylylimidodiphosphate (GppNHp) exhibited similar potencies, inducing 52%, 46%, and 43% inhibition of [125I-Tyr4]bombesin binding respectively. Saturation experiments performed in the absence and presence of 100 microM GTP gamma S indicated the presence of a single population of receptors in both cases. However, the addition of GTP gamma S induced a marked decrease in the number of receptors (from 1.76 fmol/mg protein to 0.78 fmol/mg protein) without significantly altering the dissociation constant (Kd). These results provide evidence that bombesin receptors are coupled to a G-protein signal transduction pathway in guinea pig lung. We have further characterised this G-protein on the basis of its toxin sensitivity. Pretreatment of the lung membranes with either pertussis (10 micrograms/ml) or cholera toxin (50 micrograms/ml) was performed. Cholera toxin treatment did not affect the ability of GTP gamma S to inhibit [125I-Tyr4]bombesin binding to guinea pig lung membranes. However, pertussis toxin treatment induced a decrease in binding and resulted in the inability of GTP gamma S to inhibit [125I-Tyr4]bombesin binding in a concentration-dependent manner.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The possibility that inositol lipid metabolism is related to nuclear events accompanying steroid hormone action has been investigated by comparing lipid phosphorylation and breakdown in normal rat liver nuclei and in hypo- and hypercortisolemic conditions. Lipid phosphorylation in vitro showed the presence of diacylglycerol (DAG)-, phosphatidylinositol (PI)- and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP)-kinase activity, with differences between total tissue homogenates and isolated nuclei, relevant to the treatment in vivo. Administration of hydrocortisone (HC) produced a marked decrease in the phosphorylated nuclear products without influencing the homogenate kinase activity. Under conditions which were optimal for the kinase activities, nuclear PIP-kinase was strongly increased in presence of a high blood level of HC whereas PI-kinase activity was reduced. From these observations it appears that the observed differences were due to specific modulation of kinase activities rather than to changes in the availability of substrates. The phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) activity was also investigated. In the presence of a high HC blood level, the phosphodiesteratic cleavage of PIP strongly increased, while that of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2) was similar in normal and hypercortisolemic conditions. Nuclear phosphoinositide hydrolysis was affected by PLC, beta and gamma isoforms, which were equally represented in all the conditions investigated, indicating that the observed changes of activity were due to a modulation rather than to a change in the amount of enzyme. These results suggest that inositol lipid metabolism plays a role in the nuclear modifications accompanying steroid hormone induction of transcriptional activity.

Abstract
The kinetics of bombesin-stimulated phospholipase D (PLD) activity were examined in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. The stimulated activity was found to rapidly desensitize, being completely absent after 40 s. This activity then quickly, but incompletely, resensitized, with PLD being detectable after a 4.5 min wash of the desensitized cells and 75-80% of the activity being recovered after 10 min. The desensitization was dose-dependent; however, the half-maximal stimulatory concentration of bombesin was an order of magnitude lower than that required for bombesin-stimulated second messenger generation and the KD for bombesin receptor binding. This suggested that desensitization was stimulated by a 'downstream' effect, but experiments have ruled out changes in protein kinase C activity and Ca2+ concentration. Binding experiments suggested that part of the desensitization is due to receptor internalization, and the requirement for an extracellular agonist for resensitization implies that receptor recycling plays a role. Over an extended time course, cycles of desensitization and resensitization of bombesin-stimulated PLD activity were apparent which may be relevant to mitogenic signalling. These studies add further evidence for a second messenger pathway of PLD activation, and the disparity between the kinetics of diacylglycerol generation and PLD activation supports the possibility that phosphatidic acid may have a messenger role in stimulated cells.

Abstract
We examined the profile of two bombesin (BN) antagonists, (CH3)2CHCO-His-Trp-Ala-Val-D-Ala-His-Leu-NHCH3] (ICI 216140) and [D-Phe6,des-Met14]BN(6-14)ethylamide (DPDM-BN EA), against neuromedin B-induced Ca2+ mobilization in the small cell lung cancer (SCLC) line NCI-H345. Neuromedin B (NMB), a BN-like peptide sharing sequence homology with ranatensin, elicited a concentration-dependent Ca2+ release (in part) from intracellular stores. Sequential addition of NMB attenuated Ca2+ mobilization. Desensitization occurred between BN and NMB; depletion of intracellular Ca2+ is a likely mechanism because thapsigargin stimulated Ca2+ release after a maximally desensitizing dose of NMB. ICI 216140 and DPDM-BN EA competitively inhibited BN-induced Ca2+ transients. In contrast, these compounds antagonized NMB-stimulated Ca2+ transients in a noncompetitive manner. The pharmacological profiles obtained support receptor heterogeneity for BN-like peptides on this SCLC line, underscoring the need for thorough examination of dose-response relationships when investigating effects of BN analogues on intact cells.

Abstract
1. Nicotine, high K+ and maitotoxin caused the inositol polyphosphate accumulation concomitant with 45Ca2+ uptake. 2. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and ATP induced the inositol polyphosphate accumulation without 45Ca2+ uptake. 3. Nifedipine-treatment and Ca(2+)-deprivation inhibited the high K(+)-induced inositol polyphosphate accumulation but failed to inhibit the Ang II-induced inositol polyphosphate accumulation. 4. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate inhibited the Ang II-induced inositol polyphosphate accumulation but failed to inhibit the high K(+)-induced one. 5. These results suggest that the formation of inositol polyphosphates may be regulated by two mechanisms, i.e. Ca2+ uptake-dependent mechanisms represented by high K+, and Ca2+ uptake-independent mechanisms represented by Ang II.

Abstract
Addition of bombesin to Swiss 3T3 cells causes a rapid and transient increase in the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), which is followed by desensitization to a subsequent addition of the peptide. The concentrations of bombesin used to study this acute cellular desensitization (0.1-0.5 nM) did not deplete the intracellular pool of Ca2+ released by inositol(1,4,5)trisphosphate, as shown by addition of vasopressin after consecutive additions of bombesin. Two lines of evidence support the conclusion that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) does not mediate the acute homologous desensitization of Ca2+ responses induced by bombesin. First, long-term treatment (48 h) of Swiss 3T3 cells with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDB) to deplete PKC did not prevent homologous desensitization. The responses to second additions of bombesin at 0.1, 0.25, and 0.5 nM were 42%, 26% and 11% of the initial responses, respectively. Second, the PKC inhibitor GF 109203X did not alter homologous desensitization at concentrations that completely prevented the inhibition of Ca2+ mobilization induced by PDB and blocked PDB-mediated phosphorylation of the prominent PKC substrate 80K/MARCKS. We conclude that acute homologous desensitization of Ca2+ responses induced by bombesin occurs through a PKC-independent mechanism.

Abstract
Bombesin-like peptides including neuromedin B have been proposed as autocrine or paracrine growth factors for carcinomas. To examine signal transduction and regulation of cell growth by NMB, transfectants were created with the rat NMB receptor (NMB-R) gene in BALB/3T3 cells which do not express an endogenous bombesin peptide receptor. The resultant cell line, NMB-8, expresses 800,000 NMB binding sites/cell. Addition of NMB has a biphasic effect on [3H]thymidine ([3H]dT) incorporation in confluent and quiescent cells: up to 10 nM of NMB causes a 1.5-3-fold stimulation of [3H]dT incorporation, but at greater than 10 nM there is inhibition of [3H]dT incorporation, and at 100 nM of NMB there is inhibition of cell growth. NMB causes protracted increases in intracellular Ca2+, and pertussis toxin (PT)-insensitive phosphatidylinositol (PI) turnover. NMB-mediated increase in membrane phospholipase-C activity is stimulated by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate). Arachidonate release is also activated by NMB in a PT-insensitive manner. Brief exposure to 12-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate inhibits NMB-mediated PI turnover but not arachidonate release. Thus, in NMB-8 cells, distinct mechanisms govern NMB-mediated phospholipase-C activation and arachidonate release. Also, neuromedin-B is potentially a bifunctional regulator of cell growth.

Abstract
Bombesin/gastrin releasing peptide (BN/GRP) receptors were solubilized and purified from human glioblastoma (U-118) and lung carcinoid cell lines (NCI-H720). The U-118 cells, when extracted with CHAPS/cholesterol hemisuccinate (CHS), bound (125I-Tyr4)BN with high affinity (Kd = 2 nM) to a single class of sites (Bmax = 150 fmol/mg protein). Specific (125I-Tyr4)BN binding was inhibited with high affinity by BN, GRP, GRP14-27, and receptor antagonists such as (D-Phe6)BN6-13methylester(ME) and (D-Phe6)BN6-13 propylamide(PA) (IC50 = 2, 22, 3, 1 and 2 nM, respectively) but not GRP1-16 or BN1-12. The solubilized and cellular receptor bound peptides with similar affinity. The solubilized receptor was purified using (Lys0, Gly1-4, D-Ala5)BN and (Lys3, Gly4,5, D-Tyr6)BN3-13 PA affinity resins. When eluted from the affinity resins by NaCl, the receptor bound (125I-D-Tyr6)BN6-13ME with high affinity. The NCI-H720 BN/GRP receptor was purified 86,000-fold after extraction with CHAPS/CHS and purification using both affinity resins. SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that major 65 and 115 kDa proteins were purified. These data indicate that BN/GRP receptors can be solubilized from human cells and purified using affinity chromatography techniques with retention of ligand binding activity.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as erbstatin and lavendustin derivative inhibited platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)- and bombesin-induced inositol phosphate formation and phospholipase C (PLC) activation in quiescent NIH3T3 cells. However, bombesin-induced PLC activation was only partially inhibited by tyrosine kinase inhibitors, whereas PDGF-induced activation was completely. Moreover, although bombesin-induced PLC activation was partially inhibited by pertussis toxin alone, this toxin inhibited almost completely in the presence of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Thus, tyrosine kinase was suggested to be involved in PDGF- and bombesin-induced PLC activation in a different manner.

Abstract
The effects of the simple phospholipids phosphatidic acid (PA) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) on the growth and function of Madin Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells has been studied. We observed that PA and LPA not only stimulated the growth of MDCK cells (at 20 microM), but also stimulated the growth of normal rabbit kidney cells in serum free medium (albeit at a lower dosage of 5 microM). Evidence was obtained that PA interacts synergistically with insulin so as to elicit a growth stimulatory effect. Recently, extracellular PA and LPA were proposed to stimulate mitogenesis in several types of animal cells by binding to particular sites on the plasma membrane which are coupled to signaling mechanisms such as adenylate cyclase via a pertussis toxin sensitive, inhibitory guanosine triphosphate binding protein (Gi protein) (15). However, even when the pertussis toxin dosage was increased to 50 ng/ml, LPA still had a dramatic growth stimulatory effect on MDCK cells. In the absence of LPA pertussis toxin was slightly growth stimulatory to MDCK cells. Phospholipids such as PA and LPA have been observed to prevent prostaglandin-induced increases in adenylate cyclase activity in other cell types via their effects on such a pertussis toxin sensitive Gi protein. If PA and LPA act on MDCK cells in this manner, then these phospholipids may possibly prevent the effect of PGE1 on the growth of normal MDCK cells. However PGE1 was still growth stimulatory to normal MDCK cells. The effects of PA on PGE1 independent variants of MDCK cells, which have elevated intracellular cyclic AMP levels (22), were also examined. In the presence of PA, PGE1 remained growth inhibitory, rather than growth stimulatory to the PGE1 independent cells. However, the PA dosage required to elicit an optimal growth response (5 microM) was dramatically reduced, as compared with normal MDCK cells (20 microM). This altered dosage requirement could be explained by the elevated intracellular cyclic AMP levels in the PGE1 independent variants. Like PGE1 and 8-bromocyclic AMP, PA and LPA also significantly increased the initial rate of Rb+ uptake by confluent monolayers of MDCK cells. The increase in the initial rate of Rb+ uptake could be explained by an increase in the ouabain-sensitive component of Rb+ uptake. An increase in the initial rate of ouabain-insensitive Rb+ uptake was also observed in LPA treated MDCK cell cultures.

Abstract
The hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdInsP2) is a widespread receptor-coupled signalling system at the plasma membrane of most eukaryotic cells. The existence of an entirely separate nuclear phosphoinositide signalling system is suggested from evidence that purified nuclei synthesize PtdInsP2 and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdInsP) in vitro and that a transient decrease in the mass of these lipids occurs when Swiss 3T3 cells are cultured in the presence of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). These IGF-1-dependent changes in inositol lipids coincide with an increase in nuclear diacyglycerol and precede translocation to the nucleus and activation of protein kinase C (refs 5, 6). Circumstantial evidence that links these changes with mitosis comes from the isolation of a 3T3 clone that expresses the type-1 IGF receptor and binds IGF-1 peptide but does not respond mitogenically or show transient mass changes in nuclear inositol lipids. A key question is how IGF-1 initiates the rapid breakdown of PtdInsP and PtdInsP2 in the nucleus. Here we present evidence that nuclei of 3T3 cells contain the beta-isozyme of phosphoinositidase C, whereas the gamma-isozyme is confined to the cytoplasm and that IGF-1 treatment stimulates exclusively the activity of nuclear phosphoinositidase C.

Abstract
In previous studies, activators of protein kinase C, sphingosine, ATP and various oncogenes were each found to enhance phospholipase D-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. Here I examined possible stimulation of PtdEtn hydrolysis by various growth-stimulatory agents, including serum, bombesin, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and insulin. Treatment of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, prelabelled with [14C]Etn or [32P]PtdEtn, with PDGF-BB resulted in enhanced formation of [14C]Etn or [32P]phosphatidic acid from the respective labelled cellular pools of PtdEtn. A maximal effect (approximately 3-fold stimulation) on PtdEtn hydrolysis was obtained with 50 ng of PDGF/ml after 5 min of treatment. Phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) was also hydrolysed, although less extensively than PtdEtn, in PDGF-stimulated cells. PDGF-stimulate hydrolysis of both PtdEtn and PtdCho was prevented by prolonged (30 h) treatment of cells with 400 nM-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Similar to PDGF, fetal calf serum (1-10%) also stimulated PtdEtn hydrolysis. However, in contrast to PDGF, the effect of serum on PtdEtn hydrolysis (i) was not diminished by pretreatment with PMA, and (ii) was synergistic with that of PMA after a 1 h incubation. Compared with PDGF and serum, bombesin had less effect on PtdEtn hydrolysis, while FGF and insulin had no effects at all. In contrast to PDGF or serum, bombesin inhibited the effect of PMA on PtdEtn hydrolysis.

Abstract
Human preimplantation embryos secrete platelet-activating factor (PAF), which stimulates prostaglandin E2 synthesis from secretory endometrium. This study investigated the action of PAF on phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2)-specific phospholipase C activity in human endometrium. Slices of normal endometrium were incubated with 5 microCi/ml myo-[2-3H] inositol for 3 h at 37 degrees C in 95% O2 and 5% CO2 to label tissue phosphoinositides. Inositol phosphates were extracted using trichloroacetic acid precipitation and diethylether neutralization and production was measured using Dowex 1-X8 anion-exchange column chromatography. PAF induced rapid and concentration-dependent accumulation of inositol phosphates (IP) from secretory endometrium, but had no effect on endometrium removed in the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle. The IP3 fraction was significantly elevated from a median value of 14.0 c.p.m. mg-1 dry wt [range: 8-41 c.p.m. mg-1 dry wt] to 28.0 c.p.m. mg-1 dry wt [range: 11-87 c.p.m. mg-1 dry wt, P less than 0.002] following 1 min exposure of secretory endometrium to PAF-acether, in the presence of 10 mM LiCl. PAF-induced hydrolysis of PtdIns(4,5)P2 was inhibited by the specific PAF receptor antagonist WEB 2086, in a dose-dependent manner (P less than 0.02), indicating that in human endometrium PtdIns(4,5)P2 hydrolysis is mediated via a PAF receptor. These results indicate that PAF receptor coupling activates endometrial PtdIns(4,5)P2-specific phospholipase C only in the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle, suggesting that the PAF response may be under ovarian steroid regulation. It is proposed that the ability of the endometrium to respond to PAF appears to be a feature of the preparation of this tissue for implantation and that the second messengers generated may play a role in cellular processes involved in the maternal recognition of very early human pregnancy.

Abstract
When [3H]inositol-prelabelled N1E-115 cells were stimulated with carbamylcholine (CCh) (100 microM), high K+ (60 mM), and prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) (10 microM), a transient increase in [3H]inositol pentakisphosphate (InsP5) accumulation was observed. The accumulation reached its maximum level at 15 s and had declined to the basal level at 2 min. CCh, high K+, and PGE1 also caused accumulations of [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3], [3H]inositol 1,3,4,6-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,6)P4], and [3H]inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6). Muscarine and CCh induced accumulations of [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3, [3H]-Ins(1,3,4,6)P4, [3H]InsP5, and [3H]InsP6 with a similar potency and exerted these maximal effects at 100 microM, whereas nicotine failed to do so at 1 mM. With a slower time course, CCh, high K+, and PGE1 caused accumulations of [3H]-inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4)P3] and [3H]inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4]. In an N1E-115 cell homogenate, [3H]Ins(1,4,5)P3, [3H]Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, and [3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3 were converted to [3H]InsP5 through [3H]-Ins(1,3,4,6)P4. The above results indicate that Ins(1,3,4,6)P4, InsP5, and InsP6 are rapidly formed by several kinds of stimulants in N1E-115 cells.

Abstract
Inositol lipid turnover has been implicated in the action of oestradiol 17 beta and bombesin-related peptides on the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. In the present study, in addition to measuring inositol lipid turnover as indicated by inositol monophosphate (IP) accumulation, we have also monitored the effect of oestradiol on the incorporation of both 3H-inositol and 14C-glycerol into MCF-7 cell phospholipids. Pre-treatment of MCF-7 cells with oestradiol (10 nM) for 48 hr stimulated a 4.3-fold increase in IP production. This was similarly accompanied by a 3.4-fold increase in the incorporation of 3H-inositol into total phosphoinositides and a 40% increase in cell growth. The oestrogen antagonist LYI 17018 completely attenuated these effects. Oestradiol also stimulated 14C-glycerol incorporation into phosphatidyl inositol, -choline and -ethanolamine by 97%, 82% and 99%, respectively. IP production in response to bombesin was potentiated by oestradiol in a dose-dependent fashion. Fluoroaluminate (AlF4-) stimulated a dose-dependent increase in IP production and oestradiol pre-treatment increased the sensitivity of this IP response to AlF4-. Medroxyprogesterone acetate inhibited bombesin-stimulated IP production but had no effect on the response to AlF4-. Our data suggest that the oestrogenic action on basal IP production in MCF-7 cells may reflect an effect on inositol lipid synthesis rather than turnover. However, the potentiation by oestradiol of both bombesin- and AlF4(-)-stimulated inositol lipid hydrolysis suggests the operation of a post-receptor regulatory mechanism(s) which is independent of the inositol lipid pool size.

Abstract
There is a substantial amount of information which has been obtained concerning the effects of growth factors on [Ca2+]i in proliferating cells. A number of different mitogens are known to induce elevations in [Ca2+]i and some characterization of the Ca2+ response to different classes of mitogens has been obtained. In addition, much is known about whether the Ca2+ response to a particular growth factor occurs as the result of an influx of external Ca2+ or a mobilization of internal Ca2+ stores. In addition, a considerable amount of information is available on the mechanism by which the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive internal Ca2+ store takes up and releases Ca2+. However, there is still a large deficiency in our information concerning other Ca2+ stores in proliferating cells as well as in our knowledge of the mechanisms for regulating Ca2+ entry pathways. Much more data addressing these issues exists for other types of agonist-stimulated cells, and we have discussed much of it in this review article. While the wealth of data in nonproliferating cells provides some indications of what mechanisms might be involved in the growth factor-induced changes in [Ca2+]i, it is clear that much work must be done in proliferating cells to fully understand how external factors such as growth factors control [Ca2+]i. In addition, much work remains to be done in identifying the mechanisms for the internal control of [Ca2+]i as cells move through the cell cycle and in identifying the role that these changes in [Ca2+]i may play throughout the cell cycle.

Abstract
The correlation between changes in nuclear polyphosphoinositide levels preceding PKC translocation to the nucleus and the onset of DNA synthesis has been discussed. Using two different clones of Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts belonging to the same original cell line, one of which is unresponsive to mitogenic stimulation with IGF-I on its own or in combination with bombesin, it has been observed that a rapid and transient breakdown of nuclear PIP and PIP2 occurs only in responsive cells and this precedes the translocation of PKC to the nucleus, as evidenced by immunochemical analysis as well as by enzymatic activity. Therefore, it seems that a direct link exists between nuclear polyphosphoinositide metabolism, PKC translocation to the nucleus and cell division. Since IGF-I acts at the plasma membrane through a tyrosine kinase receptor it seems that the mitogenic stimulation induced by this factor utilizes different signalling pathways at the plasma membrane and at the nucleus. Because of the evidence that type I IGF receptor is expressed in both responsive and unresponsive cells and that the receptor machinery at the plasma membrane is active the lack of the transient changes in nuclear inositol lipids and of PKC translocation in unresponsive cells further suggests that the cell nucleus is capable of an autonomous signalling system based on polyphosphoinositide metabolism.

Abstract
Bombesin (BB), neuromedin C (NMC) and neuromedin B (NMB) stimulated amylase secretion to similar maximum levels, with EC50 values (concentrations causing 50% of maximum effect) of 0.2, 0.3 and 2 nM respectively. Treatment of pancreatic acini with BB or NMB (10 nM) for 30 min resulted in cross-desensitization of secretory responses to subsequent BB and NMB, but not to acetylcholine, which suggests that NMB and BB activate the same receptor. BB, NMC and NMB stimulated production of similar maximum amounts of inositol mono-, bis- and tris-phosphates, with EC50 values of 3, 5 and 141 nM respectively. The bombesin receptor antagonist [Leu13-psi(CH2NH)Leu14]BB inhibited stimulation of amylase secretion and inositol phosphate formation by BB, NMC and NMB. Binding of 125I-labelled gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP; 200 pM) to rat pancreatic membranes at 22 degrees C was inhibited with relative potencies and IC50 (concn. causing 50% of maximal inhibition; nM) as follows: NMC (0.4) = BB (0.5) greater than NMB (1.8 = GRP (2.6). IC50 values for BB, NMC and NMB inhibition of 125I-GRP binding to intact acini were 5-, 19- and 68-fold higher than their respective values in membranes. The guanine nucleotide analogue guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (Gpp[NH]p) produced rightward shifts of NMC and NMB competition curves by 3.5- and 16-fold respectively, but had little effect on the BB and GRP curves. Elevation of the temperature to 37 degrees C or inclusion of NaCl (40 mM) produced quantitatively similar effects to those of Gpp[NH]p. In the presence of both NaCl and Gpp[NH]p the affinities of peptides for membrane receptors were similar to those for intact cells. Modulation of NMB competition curves by Gpp[NH]p was not attenuated by prior treatment of acini with activated pertussis toxin. These results suggest that BB, NMB and NMC stimulate pancreatic secretion by interaction with a common phosphoinositide-linked receptor. Differences in guanine nucleotide regulation suggest that secretagogue-induced receptor-protein interactions may not be identical for NMB and BB.

Abstract
When cultured chick sensory neurons were labeled with [35S]methionine for 1 h or longer in the presence of 5-25 mM LiCl, we found a dose-dependent reduction in the level of radiolabeled tubulin, to one third of control levels, with no noticeable effect on other proteins. The magnitude of this response was identical after a 1-h or 72-h preincubation in 25 mM LiCl and returned to control values within 1 h after removal of LiCl. Short (5-min) pulse-chase experiments revealed that tubulin synthesis was not affected by Li+, but that newly synthesized tubulin was rapidly degraded, such that 50% of the labeled beta-tubulin was lost within 5 min. There was no enhanced degradation of tubulin present before exposure to Li+. Addition of LiCl at various times before and after a 10-min pulse suggested that tubulin becomes completely refractory to Li(+)-induced degradation within 10 min after translation. Although Li+ treatment resulted in a decrease in the fraction of extant tubulin present in the unassembled form, the Li(+)-induced degradation of nascent tubulin is not a consequence of shifts in assembly state, because colcemid or taxol treatment did not lead to rapid degradation of newly synthesized tubulin, and neither drug altered the response to Li+. We suggest that Li+ interferes with the correct folding of tubulin polypeptides, exposing sites, normally hidden, to the action of a protease(s).

Abstract
Mastoparan, a basic tetradecapeptide isolated from wasp venom, is a novel mitogen for Swiss 3T3 cells. This peptide induced DNA synthesis in synergy with insulin in a concentration-dependent manner; half-maximum and maximum responses were achieved at 14 and 17 microM, respectively. Mastoparan also stimulated DNA synthesis in the presence of other growth promoting factors including bombesin, insulin-like growth factor-1, and platelet-derived growth factor. The synergistic mitogenic stimulation by mastoparan can be dissociated from activation of phospholipase C. Mastoparan did not stimulate phosphoinositide breakdown, Ca2+ mobilization or protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation of a major cellular substrate or transmodulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor. In contrast, mastoparan stimulated arachidonic acid release, prostaglandin E2 production, and enhanced cAMP accumulation in the presence of forskolin. These responses were inhibited by prior treatment with pertussis toxin. Hence, mastoparan stimulates arachidonic acid release via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein in Swiss 3T3 cells. Arachidonic acid, like mastoparan, stimulated DNA synthesis in the presence of insulin. The ability of mastoparan to stimulate mitogenesis was reduced by pertussis toxin treatment. These results demonstrate, for the first time, that mastoparan stimulates reinitiation of DNA synthesis in Swiss 3T3 cells and indicate that this peptide may be a useful probe to elucidate signal transduction mechanisms in mitogenesis.

Abstract
Physiological responses to mammalian bombesin-like peptides were studied in Xenopus oocytes injected with mRNA isolated from Swiss 3T3 cells and rat esophagus in order to identify and characterize bombesin receptor subtypes. Both groups respond similarly to either gastrin releasing peptide or neuromedin B, but only the response to neuromedin B in oocytes expressing the esophagus mRNA is not blocked by a specific gastrin releasing peptide receptor antagonist, des-Met-[D-Phe6]Bn(6-13) ethyl ester. Complete desensitization of gastrin releasing peptide-evoked responses in oocytes expressing esophagus mRNA does not abolish neuromedin B-evoked responses. A single application of neuromedin B abolishes responses to subsequently applied gastrin releasing peptide in oocytes expressing esophagus, but not Swiss 3T3, mRNA. RNA blot hybridization studies using a Swiss 3T3 gastrin releasing peptide receptor cDNA probe show no detectable hybridization in esophagus mRNA samples. These data suggest that a gastrin releasing peptide receptor is expressed in the esophagus and that it is distinct from that expressed in Swiss 3T3 cells and may represent a third subtype of mammalian bombesin receptor.

Abstract
High-affinity, membrane-associated inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (IP4) and inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) binding proteins were solubilized and isolated utilizing a heparin-agarose resin followed by an IP4 affinity resin. The IP6 receptor comprises a protein complex of 115-, 105-, and 50-kDa subunits, all of which comigrate under native conditions. The Kd of the receptor for IP6 is 12 nM, whereas inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (IP5), IP4, and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) are 50%, 30%, and 15%, respectively, as potent. Two protein complexes copurify with the IP4 receptor fraction. A 182/123-kDa complex elutes first from the affinity column followed by a 174/84-kDa protein complex, which elutes at higher salt. Both complexes show high affinity for IP4 (Kd = 3-4 nM). IP5, IP6, and IP3 display approximately 25%, 10%, and 0.1%, respectively, the affinity of IP4. Ligand binding to IP6 and IP4 receptors is inhibited 50% by heparin at 0.1 microgram/ml. IP4 receptor proteins are stoichiometrically phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C, whereas negligible phosphorylation is observed for the IP6 receptor.
